Ice Breaker Back-To-School Teacher Gift

I know this is such a cliche but I cannot believe that my son is starting Kindergarten this year. <insert sad face> Where the heck does five years go? Seems like just yesterday we were knee deep in diapers and swaddling blankets. Now we’re entering the world of supply lists, PTAs, sack lunches and of course, Teacher Gifts!

I wanted to make a Back-to-School Teacher’s Gift that would be super cute but also practical and compact. Mints for the win! What teacher wouldn’t appreciate some? I added a small booklet of interesting facts or “Ice Breakers” to play off the name of the mints. Super corney, I know!

I created the St. Paddy’s Day Pinch Free Card tutorial as a member of Lifestyle Studios.

3. Use the Evolution Die Cutting Tool to cut out the the small label you’ll place behind the apple cut-out to hold the ribbon in place.

4. Use the Sticky Thumb Tape to easily adhere all the cutouts in place. Seriously one of my favorite tools! It’ll cut your crafting time in half.

5. Stick the large decorative paper circle to the top of the mint container, over a strand of the baker’s twine.

6. Adhere the green label to the center of the label and thread the baker’s twine through. Apply the apple label with a couple strips of Sticky Thumb Dimensionals. Tie off the baker’s twine to keep everything in place.

We are officially ready for his very first First Day of School! <sob> Hope you guys found this tutorial helpful and have a great school year. I’d love to see all your back-to-school crafts so make sure to tag me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook!

This is so unique! I really love it and we can’t wait to give them tomorrow. Would you consider making another version for older kids that says MY FAVORITE SPORT (OR HOBBY) instead of TOY for older kids? Thanks for sharing :)
